IN a previous report (Graymore, 1958) methods have been described for the rapid removal of rat retinae and the subsequent accurate determination of their Wet-weight: Dry-weight ratios following a period of incubation with Krebs-Ringer-Bicarbonate supplemented with glucose. It was shown that addition of sodium fluoride to the medium resulted in a tissue oedema. This was explained on the basis th...

The clinical and pathological features of an early-onset autosomal dominant photoreceptor degeneration in the Abyssinian cat are described. Ophthalmoscopic evidence of retinal disease at 8-12 weeks of age was always preceded by marked dilatation of the pupils, impairment of the pupillary light reflex, and nystagmus. The electroretinogram was unrecordable in all but one of the affected individua...

The research experiment was conducted at the Department of Horticulture’s, SHUATS, Prayagraj during year 2022.The laid out in Randomized Block Design comprising 9 varieties viz., V1: All Green, V2: Space Spinach, V3: Red kitten V4: Catalina V5: Bloomdale, V6: Perpetual V7: Indian summer V8: Punjab V9: Corvair spinach with three replications. Observations were recorded as per growth and yield pa...

CUTLER, R. W. P., R. J. ROBINSON, AND A. V. LORENZO. Cerebrospinal fluid transport of sulfate in the cat. Am. J. Physiol. 214(3) : 448-454. 1968.-Clearance of sulfate-35S from the cerebrospinal fluid was measured during ventriculocisternal perfusions in cats. Sulfate-35S was cleared from cerebrospinal fluid against a plasma gradient, and the clearance was reduced by the addition of 4 mM sulfate...

A linear relationship between equieffective concentrations of agonist in the presence and absence of partial agonist was examined statistically. These experimental concentrations permit the estimation of the apparent dissociation constant Kp with a weighted fit. The form of the weights was proposed theoretically and substantiated by simulated experiments. Constants Kp for (+/-)-p-chloroisoprote...

We have investigated the postnatal reduction of the uncrossed projection from the nasal retina in the cat by injecting horseradish peroxidase into one optic tract of kittens and cats and retrogradely labeling the cells in the ipsilateral retina that have an uncrossed projection to the brain. The newborn kitten has over 600 uncrossed cells in the nasal retina. The number is reduced to about one-...

Staphylococcus aureus is a major bacterial cause of clinical infections and foodborne illnesses through its production of a group of enterotoxins (SEs) which cause gastroenteritis and also function as superantigens to massively activate T cells. In the present study, we tested Staphylococcal enterotoxin type E (SEE), which was detected in 17 of the 38 suspected staphylococcal food poisoning inc...

1. Extracellular recordings were made from single units in the visual cortices of six kittens deprived of experience with pattern vision by binocular lid suture. 2. Selectivity for stimulus orientation was quantitatively assessed in 98 units; 90 responded selectively to the orientation of a moving bar stimulus, the remainder responding nonselectively or too poorly to classify. Cells in these vi...
